Congratulations, Mrs. Tomhave!
The Lake Mills Rotary Club is proud to recognize Mrs. Kelly Tomhave as the April Teacher of the Month!
Mrs. Tomhave is a caring early childhood educator whose expertise shines each and every day. She has been teaching and inspiring students at St. Paul since 2015. She is currently teaching in our preschool department in our combined 3k/4k classroom where she has been inspiring those young students since 2015. She has also served many years teaching the little ones in Sunday School. Her energy, creativity, and genuine care for her students have made a lasting impact on the St. Paul community.
Parent comments:
"Mrs. Tomhave is a teacher that never expects to have the spotlight, but she truly is such a light in our family’s life! She has the biggest, caring, loving and most joyful heart."
“She has a calming presence and truly cares deeply about each one of her students and sharing the love of Jesus with them."
"She goes above and beyond to make all of her preschool students feel loved, valued, recognized and excited about coming to school.
“Mrs. Tomhave is always going above and beyond to make her classroom fun, beautiful and calm. There’s always fun themes, decorations for the holidays, peaceful music playing as you walk in first thing in the morning, and everything is laid out and organized for a fun day of learning!"
"Her students brighten up with her smile and are so happy to be in school! They love her singing and sign language talents and all of the ways she makes learning fun!"
"She is keenly aware that her students are unique, and she effectively differentiates her instruction to meet preschoolers where they are at."
“Her communication with families is outstanding as she creates a partnership with parents and caregivers."
One of her little students said, “I love it when Mrs. Tomhave gives us our crafts.”
Another parent wrote about her son.”My son has had a rough time with being dropped off in the morning and Mrs. Tomhave has been amazing with keeping the lines of communication open and letting me know how he is doing.”
Thank you for loving our children and for putting all of your heart and soul into teaching! We appreciate everything Mrs. Tomhave does for our families in the St. Paul Early Learning Center. The St. Paul community celebrates you and is grateful for all you bring to the classroom and beyond.
Congratulations, Mrs. Tomhave!
